Community Safety and Well-Being Planning in Ontario

Brampton Community Safety Advisory

Committee

Public Safety Division

Monday September 16, 2019

Purpose

2 Ministry of the Solicitor General

• To provide an overview of the new legislative requirements related to mandating community safety and well-being (CSWB) planning under the current Police Services Act.

• To highlight Ontario’s modernized approach to CSWB planning, including:✓ the CSWB Planning Framework; and✓ the CSWB planning process.

• To outline provincial tools and resources available to help support the CSWB planning process, including the Risk-driven Tracking Database (RTD).

Mandating CSWB Planning

➢ New legislative amendments outlined under Part XI, Section 143 of the current Police Services Act (1990) mandates every municipal council to prepare and adopt a CSWB plan. • First Nation band councils are encouraged to engage in CSWB planning

but will not be required to do so by legislation.

➢ This new legislative requirement for CSWB planning came into force on January 1, 2019, and municipalities have two years from this date to prepare and adopt a plan (i.e., by January 1, 2021) [s. 143 (3)].

➢ Under the legislation [s. 4 (1)], the responsibility to prepare and adopt a CSWB plan applies to:

• single-tier municipalities;• lower-tier municipalities in the County of Oxford and in counties; and• regional municipalities, other than the County of Oxford.

➢ Municipalities have the discretion and flexibility to develop joint plans with surrounding municipalities or First Nation communities [s.143 (2)].


Mandating CSWB Planning (cont’d)Additional legislative requirements related to CSWB planning include:

➢ Establishing a multi-sectoral advisory committee, including representatives from, but not limited to [s. 145 (3)]:• LHINs or health/mental health services;• Educational services; • Community/social services (if there is such an entity); • Community/social services to children or youth (if there is such an entity); • Custodial services to children or youth (if there is such an entity);• Municipal council member or municipal employee;• The police service board or a detachment commander (or delegate);• The chief of police of a police service that provides policing in the area (or delegate).

• New addition under the Comprehensive Ontario Police Service Act, 2019

➢ Conducting consultations with the advisory committee, members of public, including youth, members of racialized groups and of First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities, as well as community organizations that represent these groups [s. 145 (6)].

➢ Contents of the plan [s. 146]:• Identifying priority risk factors (e.g. without limitation, systemic discrimination and other

social factors that contribute to crime, victimization, addiction, drug overdose and suicide);• Identifying strategies to reduce the prioritized risk factors (e.g. new services,

changing/coordinating existing services);• Setting measurable outcomes.


Mandating CSWB Planning (cont’d)

➢ Regulatory requirements related to CSWB planning include [s. 149 (2), O. Reg. 527/18]:

• Publishing a completed CSWB plan within 30 days after adopting the plan in the following manner:✓ Online;✓ In print for review by anyone who requests it; and✓ In any other manner or form determined by the municipality.

➢ Additional regulations prescribing requirements related to monitoring, evaluating, reporting, and reviewing of the CSWB plan may be outlined at a later date.


Context


2012 2014 2017

• The ministry has worked with its inter-ministerial, policing and community partners to

develop a modernized approach to CSWB that addresses crime and complex social

issues on a sustainable basis.

• Ontario’s modernized approach to CSWB was developed in three phases with each

phase resulted in the release of a booklet:

Cost-Benefits of CSWB Planning

➢ Research has shown that developing and implementing strategies and programs that

are proactive and focused on social development, prevention and early intervention,

reduce the financial burden of crime through cost-effective approaches that have

significant return on investments.

• Economic evaluation has shown that preventing just one career criminal can

save society over $2 million1.

• Studies confirm that a dollar invested now in crime prevention and early

intervention (e.g., parent training or preventing a young person from dropping

out of school) saves seven dollars spent on incarceration, victim services and

other associated criminal justice costs in the future. Further, a dollar for enriched

child care saves $17 in criminal justice costs in the future2.

• A study completed in 2016 by Public Safety Canada highlights an example of the

economic impact of a chronic young offender into adult criminal life3:

▪ Total cost of criminal path without interventions (up until age 30): $1.4

million

▪ Costs averted with strategies that address acutely elevated risks: $0.89

million

▪ Costs averted by early intervention strategies: $1.2 million

It is one tool that supports these models by helping communities

collect data about local priorities and evolving trends to assist with

the CSWB planning process.

The RTD provides a standardized means of gathering de-identified

information on situations of elevated risk for communities

implementing multi-sectoral risk intervention models, such as Situation

Tables.

RTD Project

As of May 2019, 52 sites across Ontario have been on-boarded to the

RTD with 57 expected by the December of 2019.

The Ministry has leveraged the work of Saskatchewan to develop a

customized solution that meets Ontario’s needs. As a result, Ontario’s

data elements align with other jurisdictions across Canada to allow

for national comparatives.

The Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel

Revised

Key Human Sex Trafficking Facts

• 70 per cent of Ontario’s reported cases of human trafficking are for the purposes of sexual exploitation.

• The majority of survivors are Canadian citizens or permanent residents.

• 62.5% of cases originate in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

• Victims age ranges from 13 to 24 years old.

• The rate of human trafficking incidents in Peel is higher in comparison to Canada, Ontario and Toronto, especially in 2016.

Revised

It takes approximately seven attempts to leave human sex trafficking before a victim exits permanently

Key System Gaps

• Lack of dedicated housing for survivors

• Lack of coordinated approach to prevention programs

• Need for simplified systems navigation

• Need for safe dedicated housing options

Revised

The Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel

On June 14, 2018, Peel Regional Council endorsed the ‘Strategy to Address Human Sex Trafficking in Peel Region’, in alignment with Peel’s Housing and Homelessness Plan.

The Strategy aims to:

• Provide services that focus on the individual’s needs and trauma and are based on human rights and harm reduction.

• Coordinate an approach to support victims and survivors.

• Bridge the gap in services for victims and survivors.

• Provide safe housing options and accessible programming.

The Strategy is based on three main pillars:

1. Prevention

2. Intervention

3. Exits/Housing

Revised

(Ontario Works)

Prevention

• Safe/emergency house (up to four months)• Transitional house (up to two years)• Connection with priority status on Peel Access to

Housing (PATH)

Revised

The Pilot ProgramTo address these pillars, a three-year pilot program is being rolled out which will consist of the following components:

Due to the expected high rates of recidivism, all services will be delivered through a barrier-free lens to ensure victims/survivors feel safe to return as many times asrequired.

Revised

• Engage school boards

• Develop workplan with service providers

• Train frontline staff

• Build relationships

• Issue RFP for hub service provider in fall 2019

• Hub anticipated to open winter 2020

• Both houses anticipated to open fall 2019

Evaluate and advocate for sustainable funding

From: Danielle Dowdy Sent: Saturday, September 7, 2019 11:17 AM To: Jackson, Tammi <[email protected]> Cc: Subject: Re: BCSAC - Attendance for September 16, 2019 Meeting.

Good morning all,

Let me start off by apologizing for leaving "early" at the last meeting. I left at 9pm due to

needing to pick up my children from childcare. I didn't think the meeting would have gone so

late given that there were only a few presentations on the agenda. My leaving almost caused the

meeting to end as my presence filled our quorum requirement. My understanding is that the

meeting went until 10:45pm and could have gone on longer if someone didn't leave and break

quorum.

Can we think of ways to make the meetings end at a respectable time? Earlier start? Timed

agendas? Incorporating hard end times? 10 minute presentations? Limiting the amount of

presentations per meeting? Limiting questions to 1 plus 1 follow up? I'm not sure what the

answer is or combination of answers are, but meetings that run close to midnight are not

practical, sustainable, or feasible in the long term - especially for those of us who have already

had a full day at work and have to be up early in the morning for work the next day.

I hope that we can discuss how to tighten up our meetings to be more effective and streamlined

at our next meeting.

Thanks,

Danielle
